Can't help you much here Shaun 
I have been saving for a few months having promised myself that I would not spend anything 'unecessary' before Christmas and I have decided to sort the Christmas spend followed by the little fella's birthday 7th Jan then the car insurance start of Feb, mot March and then our holiday
The some time around Julember I may get the wide angle wotsit I have been wanting, just need to decide which one
As I have not actually got anything I want that doesn't cost hundreds we have agreed that my better half will be spending some of my 'Christmas' allocation as such on the little fella instead - at least I will get a warm fuzzie feeling as a result
It's a choice thing or maybe it's just a way of trying not to feel guilty if I end up with a 12-24
K10D, K5 plus plenty of clueless enthusiasm.

We draw lots and have a spend limit of €25 on Christmas presents, so only one small present for me. Certainly nothing from Pentax for me. In fact since His Nibs drew my lot I'll be lucky to get anything.

Dear Insanity Clause, I have been good this year. All I want for Christmas is a list of all the ladies in my area that made your naughty list.
Ps, don't worry, I'll buy my own gifts next year....
Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.

Photography books, K adapter for Q, lens hoods for Q, but most of all lots of family and friends around to share it all with.
Best regards, John

Nothing. I don't do the yearly Pagan Sun Worship Festival that's been hijacked by Commercialism.

You've got far too much Pentax stuff already Shaun!
As for me, I would love Santa to bring me a K-5 iis, but then I wake up
I will have to save up for that one myself, maybe sometime next year I will get one!

No matter how many lenses I have owned - I have always needed just one more
